How to Spot a Fake Green Card
The purpose of a United States green card, or permanent resident card, is to prove your legal residency in the U.S. if you were not born a U.S. citizen. Someone may become desperate if he has not yet obtained a green card and his temporary visa is due to expire and create a fake green card. A fake green card is considered fraud and a person holding a fake card may be permanently banned from entering the U.S. Spotting a fake green card can be done by noticing slight or major discrepancies on the card, if you know what you are looking for.

Look for discrepancies in the text. Look for words that may be slanted, punctuation errors, spelling errors, irregular spacing between words, incomplete letters that look as if they were cut off and uneven words. If someone scans a green card and tries to replace the information on the card, more than likely the lettering will be uneven or awkwardly spaced.

Observe the picture. Look for discrepancies such as if the picture seems to be glued over top of a previous picture. Note the direction the person is facing in the picture and if the picture has a holographic imagine surrounding it. For older cards, the picture may be glued on and the person will usually be facing with his head turned toward the left, showing his right ear. For newer cards issued after May 2010, the picture is printed on the card and the card is no longer paper; it is now plastic.

Tilt the card at an angle to view holograms and discrepancies. On older cards, you should notice items such as the Statue of Liberty, a blue colored seal of a bald eagle and a map. On the back of an older card, the information is duplicated from the front of the card onto the back of the card. On newer cards, you should notice a laser engraved fingerprint, a unique background image, the Statue of Liberty and color shifting ink (green to gold). On the back of a newer card, you should notice a micro-image of state flags along the top, a copy of the person's picture and a micro-image of U.S presidents.
